How did you managed to play a few hundred times when there's an (enforced) 3-per-day limit?

I didn't even know there was a 3 per day limit. I've only done it once a day.

I tried for a full hour. Nothing. On my computer (mac), I just kept on hitting refresh, and the game came right back up.

UNenforced. Try the "back" key.

I think the long code in the URL basically has the results of your game in it, so if you refresh at that point (thus gaming the limit 3 system), you are effectively only playing once.

Just my theory though.

Theory busted (well maybe). I had some time at work today so I played about 25+ times in a row. On the 26th or so I won the crappy toy toss game. I already have the confirmation email from them.

Just FYI, there is a very real possibility that they will invalidate that win (though I doubt you care for such a small prize). They do actually go through some verification process and the Official Rules do state that attempts to enter more than the allowed 3 times daily are void and may disqualify the entrant. For small prizes, they may not bother to enforce, but if you happen to win a large prize this way, I'd be quite wary of a prize audit.
